It has been a few weeks now since I have had back and leg issues making it extremely difficult to walk without a walker. So instead of going to any of the stores, I have been working from home. Between the Bose head set that my cousin bought me, the ear buds that my son purchased, which also act as hearing aids, and the wires that criss cross my home office as well as speakers, fax machine and all the chargers that are close at hand, I am inundated by technology which I know little of, with no one to teach me in the house – my kids left the house over 25 years ago.
It’s incredible for me to see how young people take to this new technological world like a duck takes to water! They text faster, they know the ins and outs, the nuances of the cell phone world and the world of computers while I sit dumbfounded. When in the store, I always eye a young person who is in the employ of Ben’s to help me navigate this technology. The pace at which technology develops, and changes is too fast for this septuagenarian but my ace in the hole is the server, hostess, or cashier on duty. It’s not as if I was born in a log cabin or taken to a healthcare facility in a horse and buggy. After all you no longer have to go shopping for foods, hygiene products or clothing, you can order through Amazon and have them delivered to your door. You really don’t have to leave your home for much these days and I really don’t have to go into the stores to work … except of course to get my many technology questions answered.
Super Bowl is February 9th. Please call your favorite store to order your wings and place your catering order!
Hopefully, I’ll see ya at the deli soon.
Ronnie.
